Individuals who want to advance in their current career (or start a new one), aren't restricted to necessarily earning a bachelor's degree. Many people are able to get going in a new career by earning an associate's degree or career training certificate from a local community college or vocational school. Students who don't have one of these colleges in their town can often find an online program where they can get the training they need to get started in a new position. Some of the most popular career fields include basic business, information technology, nursing, law enforcement, graphics, web design, and various technical trades including plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, heating, auto mechanics, construction and many more.
